2 Creek engine 3, copy en route. 2530 King's Park Drive. 4-story apartment building, nothing showing. No alarm system activated, no evacuation in progress. Engine 2 is that command. One copy, engine 2 with command. Central Medics 72, Steel Creek. Engine 3, you're responding for a 29-year-old male with chest tightness and sweating. He is about 165 pounds. It's going to be apartment 3510. If you get a call back about a smell, we located the smell; it was a cast fire pit. We shut the gas off to the fire pit. They may smell it a little bit longer until it dissipates. If y'all are making your way to it on the fourth floor, it's the top apartment on the alpha-delta corner of the building. Did you locate the panel? Yes. Anything on the panel? 4101 photo supervisory. It shows an option to disable on the panel. Ladder 2 driver, is the panel clear? No, it's showing a supervisory alarm and has an option to disable. We have horns and strobes. See if you can reset it and see what it does. It doesn't appear to be resetting. Ladder 2 command: we would need a responsible party out here because only one apartment activated; we have one strobe.
